Guess I need to update....
Sorry it's been so long since I've updated anything. I hit a bit of a downswing while I was trying to clear the bonus over at PokerRoom and went into hiding a bit, lol. I was playing 2/4 over there, slowly slowly trying to clear that impossible bonus and had a night where I lost almost $200. Which is alot, because I don't really have the BR to play 2/4, but it was just too hard to clear at 1/2. Well after that I said fuck it, and cashed out what I had left. That site was just way too aggressive to even bother with. I told someone else, it's like I'm playing 3 or 4 of myself, and then 3 or 4 of me (But playing bad cards)... super aggressive and relatively tight also. Just wasn't a moneymaking venture over there. So I got my PSO bonus and moved on down about $180 unfortunately.
The tournament troubles continue as well. Today I was playing in a Limit tourney. Take quite a few rough beats, because in these limit tourney's, it's like, bet, raise, re-raise, cap.... every round, with as much as bottom pair or a gutshot draw. It's ridiculous. Anyway... I double up late to get around 1k from being on the verge of busting out. Then I get JJ, and I figure I'm going for broke here, with blinds 50/100 and betting levels 100/200. So I raise, get like 5 callers, and the flop is J-10-x... I bet out, and get raised, so I just call so I can raise it up on the turn. I check raise the turn, then bet out and get all-in on the river when it's an Ace. Well guess what... The winner stuck around with QK. There ya go, and I'm done again.
Also played a lil $10 SnG at Gaming Club... which is the current bonus I'm working on for PSO. Well... I took a beat after I built up a pretty good stack. So I'm back down around 1200, from a high point around 3k. Blinds are ridiculous at this point... (worst structure ever)... so it's 80/160 blinds and I get QQ UTG. Well someone was all-in almost every hand, so I limp and as I suspected the guy behind me goes all-in. Everyone folds and I call. He flips up 66 and my QQ has him dominated. That is until the board comes 3457x.... and I'm out in 5th. It really is getting frustrating, because I'm playing pretty well, but I'm getting just killed by the cards. I also went out of some other tourney with AK.... board was Kx7Ax... well he had 77. I mean, what can I do with top 2 pair and a stack as big as the pot after I raised it preflop?
PSO Update:
Well, I am about halfway through the PSO bonus on Gaming Club, which is going pretty fast, but they only let you clear a certain amount of BRP's (Bonus Redemption Points) at each level until you get to 2/4. So you need 2400 of them to get the PSO bonus. But you can only do 400 at .50/1.00 and then 800 at 1/2. Those went super fast, but that's only half of what I need. Once you're at 2/4 or higher, it's unlimited, but still out of my BR range. But what choice do I have? So I am done with levels below 2/4 and I gave it my first shot over at this site tonight. Wound up ahead $40 for a fairly short session, maybe an hour or so. I didn't want to blow it, and I know I cleared another $20 in bonus money, so I cut it short and will take the profit for tonight. I am now ahead almost $100 on gaming club, with the bonus and what I won tonight. Oh yeah... I didn't mention... for every 300 BRP's you get... they release $20 in bonus money. Which ends up being every 100 raked hands (.25 or higher). It's a pretty nice system. Although at 2/4 it's actually harder, cause they don't rake less than $1. So if the pot doesn't hit $20, you don't get a rake. But down at 1/2 and lower, anything over $5 gets raked, so it goes super fast. Well now I'm babbling, but I think things are going a little better at this site than PR. Other than the occasional retarded beat that you will get everywhere. Hopefully I clear these next 1000 BRP's pretty quick and come out nicely ahead, cause I'm not a fan of Prima, but I must say, I like this software better than Royal Vegas.
Fantasy Team Update:
Well... today was a great day in Fantasy land. The Pot Limit Omaha event gave me 4 players in the top 16 and over 1,300 points alone for this event. As it stood through 17 events, I was in 86th place with close to 3,200 points. (Top 100 get prizes, so I'm doing pretty well) Then today I add over 1,300 to that. I am now at 4,548!! I still don't know what place that leaves me though, because the updated standings haven't been done. But I sure hope some of the people ahead of me didn't have all the players I did in tonights event. We will see though.
Amazon Update:
I finally got one of my shipments from Amazon today!! I had to wait forever for it, because of Harrington on Hold'Em Vol.2 and waiting for that to ship. But today I got 2 packages. Here is a list of all the books I got.
Harrington on Hold'Em vol. 2
Small Stakes Hold'Em
Caro's book of poker tells
Inside the Poker Mind
The Making of a Poker Player (matt matros)
I still have another 3 on the way I believe. Plus Fight Night round 2 for PS2! I can't wait till everything gets here. Although I dunno when I'll find time to read all these freakin books, lol. I have read a few already, but some need to be re-read over and over. SSHE for one.
So that should bring things up to date for the most part. Sorry this thing is long as hell.
